    About this ebook

    Halah Hussein was valuable, but not to her father. She'd escaped him to study in the United States. She made the mistake of coming home to visit after her mother and sisters said he'd mellowed.

    As soon as she walked in the front door, her father tied her to a chair and prepared to execute her. He said she'd become a harlot by keeping company with non-believers. A phone caller interrupted her death. A Sheik wanted her for himself and would pay her father real money. Halah had hope. While in the United States, she'd agreed to work with the CIA. They kept track of her. The CIA called SEAL Team 13.

    John Steele was the newest member of the SEAL team. He found life hard because he'd lost his fiancée in a car accident, and he felt dead inside. 

    Could John and the SEAL team find the Sheik and rescue Halah? Would John find a way to move on?

      Rescue - Navy SEAL Romance - Carla Parker

      Rescue

      Y ou brought me home to kill me?

      Not kill, whore of a daughter. Execute.

      How could you do that?

      With a gun.

      Halah Hussein sat in a chair in the kitchen of her parents’ home. She was tied hand and foot. She had the classic look of the Middle East; slender body, black hair and deep, brown eyes. She was twenty-one years old.

      Her father, Amil Hussein, looked like a religious zealot. His eyes had a crazed appearance. His body was thin from fasting more than he should. His hands made people think of claws.

      He picked up an AK47 from the kitchen table and shouted, So shall it be to all harlots! Whores like my daughter, who kept company with unbelievers! He pointed the weapon at her head and began to squeeze the trigger.

      He heard wails of grief from the front room. He stomped in and shouted. You will stop this at once. My daughter died when she left my home. She is already dead.

      Amil’s wife and the two daughters, who still lived at home, wound down and became silent. Dalal was nineteen years old, and Janay sixteen. His son, Kaseem, stood with arms folded, next to his family. He said, I tried to tell them, father. They wouldn’t listen.

      You’re a good son, Kaseem. You make me proud.

      Kaseem smirked at the compliment.

      Amil steamed back to the kitchen and, once again, prepared to execute his daughter.

      Halah didn’t close her eyes or shrink away. She looked at her father with deep disappointment.

      The phone rang. Kaseem answered it then shouted to his father. Don’t kill her. She has value.

      Amil took the phone from his son and spoke a few words. He put it down. She lives. Sheikh Abu El Mofty wants her for his own. He will pay us five thousand riyals for her. He ran back to the kitchen and pointed the rifle at his daughter. Speak the truth, traitorous daughter. Are you a virgin?

      She nodded. I am.

      We are saved.

      Amil made two thousand riyals a year driving an old taxi.

      Halah said, You accuse me of being a harlot yet I am a virgin. You sell me to a man I do not know who will make me a harlot and rejoice. You are not my father.

      Amil slapped Halah twice. Silence, whore.

      Halah had traveled to the United States a year earlier to escape her abusive father. She studied Foreign Policy at USC. She was a good student, but missed her mother and sisters. She went back home after the other women in her family told her that her father had become quiet and calm.

      THE SHEIKH SENT TWO men to deliver the money to Amil and take possession of Halah.

      Amil untied her and had her display herself before them. She held out her arms and turned gracefully in a circle.

      One of the men wore a western suit and tie. He had a calm smile. "Very good.
